http://www.laracrudgington.co.uk/ Just back from working in Birmingham with an amazing director, cast and crew on a film called 'Passengers', directed by John Hales, starring Anna Poppelwell (Susan in 'The Chronicles of Narnia') and Jack Derges ('Dungeons and Dragons).
The film is scheduled to come out around March 2012 - I can't wait to see it. Be prepared for a many a chilling scene and some very funny lines!

So here are a couple of images from when I worked on the Mayamiko Trust shoot with designer Lauren Solomon and photographer Ani Lang a few weeks back...model Iona Rose McCabe reminds me of a young Elizabeth Taylor!

I worked on a photoshoot with the beautiful ITV Weather Presenter Becky Mantin and with ITV Press Photographer Jon Cartwight a couple weeks back in London...Becks and I have been friends since our days at Anglia Television together in Norwich, so we all had an absolute blast.
We were shooting in Jon's amazing apartment and studio opposite the London Eye.
I'm attending my first session working with an amazing cancer charity called 'Look Good Feel Better' at Maidstone Hospital in Kent today. The charity teaches women going through chemotherapy how to combat the visible signs of treatment using skin care and makeup products and by the end of the session the ladies should all feel wonderfully pampered and will leave looking really lovely.
I'm excited to be shooting with photographer Ani Lang and fashion designer Lauren Solomon tomorrow ahead of a big charity event coming up at The Kensington Roof Gardens on October 15th 2011 in London - if you're in town, buy your tickets now! http://www.slavesoftheextraordinary.com/mayamiko/

So it's been a while since I updated my blog...I've been busy working on a new movie called The Thompsons, directed by THE BUTCHER BROTHERS Mitch Altieri and Phil Flores. The Thompsons is a sequel to an American cult horror called the Hamiltons (released in 2006). The cast and crew are amazing to work with, I'm loving every second, but you know, what with all the towelling down of hot sweaty actors on set and cleaning of fake blood from their torsos, frankly I'm exhausted!!:)
So whilst at the Sarah Mayhew Spa & Hair Salon last week http://www.sarahmayhewspa.co.uk/ I decided to try out a Fish Pedi...OMG! Once I totally relaxed my feet it was really fun - but the second I tensed up my toes the harder the fish nibbled!! Eeek!
Lots of fun working with gorgeous TV presenter Helena Dowling and the Nick Jnr team today on the set of Wake Up World for Nickelodeon Jnr at the MTV studios in Camden, London.
Oh and celeb sighting of the afternoon: singer Shola Ama looking very glam in the MTV reception!
